One card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that the card drawn is a face card ?

A. $$\frac{3}{13}$$

B. $$\frac{4}{13}$$

C. $$\frac{1}{4}$$

D. $$\frac{9}{52}$$

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Clearly, there are 52 cards, out of which there are 12 face cards 4 jack, 4 queens, and 4 kings
∴ P (getting a face card) $$ = \frac{{12}}{{52}}$$   $$ = \frac{3}{{13}}$$

    The answer should be 3/13.
    Since there are 12 face cards in a deck of 52 cards
    Therefore= 12/52 = 3/13.

    The answer should be 3/13.
    Since there are 12 face cards in a deck of 52 cards (face cards are J, Q and K).
    Therefore, P(getting a face card) = 12/52 = 3/13.
